ENJOYED THESE STORIES A LOT!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Acapulco at Sunset and Other Stories (Hardcover)
I've read all of Cecilia Manguerra Brainard's books, and this is another winner. This, her second short story collection, explores her Philippine as well as Philippine American experiences. Like her other writings, these stories are full of magic! I recommend them to you.

COLLECTION OF 17 ENCHANTING FILIPINO SHORT STORIES,
By Palhbooks.com "Palh" (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acapulco at Sunset and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
Acapulco at Sunset and Other Stories is an collection of seventeen enchanting Filipino short stories which the internationally-acclaimed author has grouped into four categories: Long Ago Tales, Stories from the '60s and '70s, Stories from the '90s, and American Tales.
"Introducing this collection of seventeen short stories, written over a period of eight years, Cecilia Manguerra Brainard, a Cebuana residing in Southern California, hopes readers will "learn something...about Filipinos or about mankind in general." Adding to her cast of Filipino characters in Philippine settings during the twentieth century, Brainard includes other nationals, Mexican and American settings, and the eighteenth century to communicate universal and timeless truths...Brainard's treatment of Filipinos and cultural assumptions and social practices regarding men and women, marriage, and social roles and relationships across the life cycle is insightful." ~ Les Adler, Professor, Michigan State University, Pilipinas, No. 26, Spring 1996 |
